 'Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ' (Titus 2:13).

Every believer's hope is built on the righteousness of Jesus, our Rock. Without His death and resurrection, there would be no hope in this world and no entrance in the heavenly courts of God, or eternity with Him. We would all be lost forever! Christ our High Priest is in heaven, in the Most Holy place interceding on our behalf as He judges the world. One day He will burst the clouds of heaven and make his glorious appearing, to take His faithful people awaiting the blessed hope of his returning. Let us wait  patiently for Jesus's return by faith, amidst our trials, tribulations, afflictions and persecutions. Christ will reward us for our obedience and faithfulness when he comes. What a glorious day that will be when Jesus appears for the righteous believers, to take them from this wretched, miserable and ghastly world, to spend eternity with him. We are instructed to look for that blessed hope, and glorious appearing of our great God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Let us be watchful and sober as we wait in expectancy for His soon return. We do not know the day or the hour of Jesus's returning, because it is only God, the Father who knows. But we do know that Jesus is coming back, so as we anticipate His coming, let us in faith hold steadfast to that assurance and blessed hope. Let us prepare our hearts by denying ungodliness and worldly lusts; but strive to live soberly, righteously and godly lives that will prepare us for God's kingdom. Jesus will come in the clouds with power and great glory; and it is only those who believed on Him and had been faithful and obedient, that will be able to stand the brightness of his glory, at His appearing. We all have choices; to chose Jesus and eternity or Satan and eternal damnation, for there is no middle ground. Today, God is reaching out to each of us, and imploring us to choose wisely. His hope is not for any of us to perish, but to have eternal life with Him. Choose life eternal with Jesus and claim the promise of the blessed hope and his glorious appearing. Do you want eternal life? Then chose right, choose Jesus, our only hope.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
